About Shawn Micallef

Shawn Micallef is an Associate Editor at Spacing Magazine.

He co-founded the location-based mobile phone documentary project [murmur] that has been set up around Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, San Jose, Edinburgh and Dublin, Ireland. For fun, he and some friends co-founded the Toronto Psychogeography Society, a group of flâneurs who drift through and explore the city semi-regularly. Shawn recently co-curated a Virtual Musuem of Canada/Gallery TWP exhibition called Subversive Cartographies -- an exploration of psychogeographic art projects and practices.

Shawn's writing has been found in The Globe and Mail, The National Post, Maisonneuve, Broken Pencil as well as Eye Weekly, where his "Stroll" column explores Toronto on foot. Shawn is also an instructor at the Ontario College of Art and Design.
